The diaphragm and back pain. What is the link?
Curious! Researchers have been describing
how manipulation has an effect on the diaphragm and its
ability to have some bearing on and improve
non-specific back pain. Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn includes
this data into its Ashburn chiropractic treatment
plan to reduce Ashburn non-specific
low back pain.
NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
Chronic non-specific low back pain is back pain that’s been annoying for more than three
months and does not appear to have an
exact cause. Usual care is education and reassurance,
analgesic medications, and non-pharmacological therapies. Formal
medical care is not typically required though
imaging, opioids and surgery are often overused. (1) Visceral
fascial limitations, restrictions of the deep fibrous connective tissues enclosing
muscles, bones, nerves, arteries and veins), may cause pain in the
lumbar spine. Treating patients who have
non-specific low back pain with manipulation and exercise may help. (2) Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn sees Ashburn low
back pain patients with this type of condition. This type of
pain is many times annoying for patients, and
Poulin Chiropractic of Herndon and Ashburn can often help.

CHIROPRACTIC CARE OF NON-SPECIFIC LOW BACK PAIN
An effective approach
chiropractic’s collegial profession of osteopathy utilizes and publishes
cases and explanations of its success in reducing non-specific
low back pain is taking care of the diaphragm, that dome-shaped
muscular structure that divides the thoracic (chest) and
abdominal areas of the body. The diaphragm starts
along the lumbar vertebrae of the spine and connects to the
lower ribs. (3) It moves when we breathe. Stretching the diaphragm significantly
improves cervical spine extension, right and left cervical spine
flexion, flexibility of the posterior chain (the muscles of the back part
of the body) and ribcage movement at the xiphoid level (the bottom
tip of the chest’s sternum). (4) Using manipulation and
treating the diaphragm produced significant reduction
in pain and disability for patients with non-specific chronic low back pain. (5)
Treating the thoracic spine (mid-back) with mobilization in
combination with treatment of the low back specifically and
breathing exercises for non-specific chronic low back pain improves respiration
and reduces disability for these patients. (6) Such improvements are most welcomed
by sufferers with Ashburn non-specific low back pain.
